Well seeing as this is my first post, I might as well get ready for the flames and compliments (if there are any). So me and CerealKiller walk in about 15 minutes late (as usual) and sit down. I notice as we walk in that someone thinks us walking in is really funny. So we sit down and the lesson was taught by Mr. I-Can't-Remember-Your-Name again. It was about cliques. If you don't know what that is then look it up, gosh. So he lists the different kinds of cliques on the white board, some of which were, nerds, goths, jocks, preps, emos, and I can't remember the rest. Oh there was also "Haley's Friends" which she apparently thought was a group. *hehe* So Mr. Whats-His-Name has to ask everyone(except for me and CerealKiller) to be quiet about a bajillion times. We finally finish the lesson and start "The Game" *important voice* and find out it's the "alphabet game". My first thought oh joy, another "fun" game. But it turns out that it was pretty good. He gives us all pieces of paper that have a number on them (1 through 18). So the way you play is pair off like 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, and so on. Then Mr. No-Name gives us all another piece of paper that has a sentence that makes about zer0 sense. Like, big purple monkeys like to Scream. What ever letter the sentence starts with the other person has to make up a different sentence that start with the letter that is after the letter.....you've fallen asleep haven't you? Anyway I got to about the 3rd round and I say a prepositioel phrase instead of a actual sentence so I get beat by a noob. I mean this kid is a...umm...cough cough loser cough. Yep, that about sums him up. So when it's over Anna wins. She's the loser... I mean kids older sis. We all get a blow-pop (or so I think) and sucking on mine listening to Underoath, when I wonder why isn't CerealKiller sicking one? I find out that he gave his to me 'cause there weren't any left. ...............I was astounded at this act of kindness. So as I'm head-banging and drawing some weird looks. Kevin is standing there criticizing my acts when this girl that always chases him, and she will be the only girl that ever chases him. Hehehe...inside joke. Anyway he freaks, falls over the bush and..............falls on the ground. They run around for awhile until she gets bored and leaves. We then hang around, yell at some older dudes (fun), and then leave. The end.

We got there a little late. Almost everybody that usually comes was there. When we got there, one of the Stephens (there are a lot in our church) was playing the electric piano. He was playing to the beats of drums. =P It was funny. Then there were chairs that were in a circle. Our leader made us stand so that our right shoulders were facing the chairs. He read us questions, and if we hadn't done what he said in the questions, we had to move one step away from the chairs. Like, "If you've read your Bible this week, take a step closer. If you haven't, step away." Andrew (not big andrew) ended up being about 10-15 feet away. xD That was funny. Then we had a lesson about disappointments. After that, we played a game, were we all blew up a balloon. There was a piece of paper inside. We then tied them to our ankles (oh noez teh deja vu of our lock inz). BTW, we were in 2 teams. Each time had to pop all of their own balloons, then get the little pieces of paper inside the balloons. Then we had to put them together and it would be a Bible verse. The other team stole one of our little pieces of paper, and we lost. <_< After that, we did a game that was like this:
We have 2 lines, both on different sides of the room, the 2 teams. Then the person at the end of the line was told a shape, or something like that. They had to trace it on the person in front of them's back, and that person had to trace it on the person in front of them, etc, then the person at the front had to draw it. We won that time. =D
Then that was basically it. At the end, there was this little girl who was determined to hit me. So she was chasing me all around the front part of our church, while everybody was watching. =P It was awesome. Except I fell into a prickly bush while running. xD

• 1/17/2007 - Yay! More rants and raves! :D
Tonight we had youth group. It was a little different because we didn't have Andrew teaching. We had a parent teaching, and it started out with him letting us guess what we were going to talk about. Everything we guessed he yelled "NO!" until someone said anger. =P He said he gave us a hint. So we talked about anger and stuff, and then we played a game. 2 games actually. The 1st was where we were separated into 2 teams. Each team had a volunteer. That volunteer had their waste taped all the way around, with the sticky side out, and got a little recorder (flute like thingie). We then had to blow up a balloon. We were then blind folded, one at a time, and had to go over to where he was and put our balloon on the tape. He then blew the recorder to tell us it had stuck. We won by getting all of our balloons on first. Then the parent said we could pop them if we wanted to. Thus ensued a lot of kicking our volunteer to pop the balloons.
Then we played a game where there were 2 chairs. It was an act it out game and basically, 2 people were on the chairs, one from each team. They had to act out some little scene. And anybody could switch with either of them. All the girls said were things like "Did you see the latest bla bla bla?" While the guys consisted mostly of driving a car. So I got up there with a 6th grader, and he said "oh noez we r abowt 2 fal off a clif111" then I did my screaming facial expression, then a really n00bish n00b came up and started yelling at me "DO YOU LIKE CHOCOLATE CAKE?????" I was then pleading with my teammates to save me. =P So that game lasted a while, then it was over, and we came back home.

• 12/6/2006 - Tonight
Well, another fascinating night...in it's own little way. So, we (Shadeslayer and I) arrived at Church, and we went into the sanctuary, to sing the praise songs before Youth Group (mandatory). Then, we went back to the Youth Room. All the 6th graders feel a need to run all the way there, but everyone else doesn't. It's sorta funny. So, we get in there, and sit down to wait for Andrew M. He gets in there, and I winced at these words: "Tonight we have a special game to play." I don't like it when he says that. Special to him = Boring to us. Usually. We needed groups of 4, as teams. Unfortunately for me, Shadeslayer gave in to being on the girl's team, and I got stuck with some...n00bs, I guess. =P But sorta cool n00bs. Then we all had to figure out a team name. There were: "Blueberry Oreos" (?), "Gobbin' Hunters" (??), the "Its" (us), and "The Winners". So, it was a trivia game. We had to answer the stupid little multi choice questions in 30 seconds. But there are errors in that game. There was one question: "How do you identify a Brown Recluse Spider bite?" Duh, the answer is "The skin around the bite turns brown, and flakes off, forming a pit." But noooo, the game said that answer was "A blue and red blister forms." Wrong-zorz. But anyway, the winning team's prize was to be a box of everlasting gobstoppers each, 2nd got a whoopee cushion each, 3rd got nothing, 4th got a special surprise.In the end, this was the score:
| Blueberry Oreos: 5 | Gobbin' Hunters: 6 | Its: 4 | The Winners: 7 |
Figures the one time the name of the team holds true I'm not on it. =P But it was funbny, whenever we got a question wrong, William, who's on our team, started doing the "Loser" dance. You know, puts the finger and thumb on forhead in shape of L and then starts doing random dance moves. I even asked for our team name to be changed to "Loozers" about halfway through. XD But since we lost, my team got the Special Surprise. Andrew made us all sit in a circle on the ground. (At this point our entire team was groaning, knowing something bad would happen) Then, he made us close our eyes. Then we heard what sounded like tape being undone. Then Andrew counted to 3, and we got sprayed...with silly string. It was like a bombardment for about 2 minutes. At the end, I basically had a mullet of pink silly string. =P It was awesome.

• 11/29/2006 - Another Youth Group night...
I will not do a long ranting and raving tonight. Tonight didn't have too much stuff to type about...But here's my Night at Youth Group:
We (shadeslayer and I) arrived at my Church for dinner. They had Lasagna and chicken and salad and garlic bread. I got all of it...except the lasagna. ^^. And I didn't eat any of the salad. lol But after we ate, we went out around the Church. We were just randomly talking (I don't even remember what it was about now). Suddenly a flock of little kids appeared. Shadeslayer's instinct was run. Mine was to scream. Mine also had the funnier outcome. =P Basically, my high pitched scream startled a little kid. Well, little as in 7-8. So after that, we go up the hill behind my church and there are these people playing Football. And I decided that the night would be much more enjoyable if I wasn't handicapped for it. Anyway, after Shadeslayer's running after me and trying to kill me due to me smashing cups on his back, we went in to Youth Group. We then went out and played Capture the Flag (oh noez return of the flag-stealing n00bzorz). Shadeslayer had the idea of me hiding in a tree, and the flag being right underneath me, so I could fall upon (litterally) anyone who decided to steal the flag. Good idea, except for the fact that the other team saw me after my first attempt at tagging someone, and called it Puppy Guarding. So then I went up to the line. Soon after, William (fast, smallish dude who's on the other team) runs for our flag. After a skirmish of 6th graders trying to stop him but failing, he almost made it back over. But I managed to dive after him and tag his shoe right before the line. So then the flag was basically at the line. Andrew (my height, fastish dude who's on the other team) starts running towards the spot where the flag originally was. He then found out that it wasn't there and died (was tagged). Then, both teams got into an arguement about something smal, I don't think I ever knew what it was, and Brandon (small, fastish annoying dude who's on my team) walks/runs over to their side, gets a jailbreak and walks back with the flag. So I guess we won. =P Then we came in. We didn't do much of a lesson, but this is what we did do:
We had a goodbye party for Molly and Rachel (2 girls, age 11 and 13 I think) who were moving the next day. We all gathered around in a circle and Andrew M. (Big guy who is in charge of youth group) made us all say our farewells/positive things that we would miss about Rachel and Molly/Things that they've done for us. Shadeslayer said that Rachel made him afraid of Loud noises (due to intense screaming quite often on her part). Then, Haley (Rachel's best friend) called Andrew M. over his phone. She was (i guess) sick and couldn't come, but she had prepared a long speech-type thingie about Rachel. It was touching, and made Molly and Rachel quote emotional. After that, we basically were done. It was then saying good bye to Rachel and Molly.

So an emotional night tonight. No ranting or raving.

Geh, another dumb night at youth group (why do I even go anymore?). Here's what we did: 5 volunteers were picked. Then, those 5 people had to choose 3 people that they trusted. That was annoying, cause one of my (once-upon-a-time) friends chose my best friend (shadeslayer13) instead of me. >,< So I eventually ended up on a girl's team. Then, we (the trusted/force-chosen people) had to turn our leader (one of the volunteers) into a turkey. (???) We had:
Streamers (red and orange)
Feathers (black, blue, green, yellow, red, etc.)
Tape
Toilet Paper
and
1 Pantyhose (?) per volunteer
Our 'turkey' came in 3rd, and it was a pretty stewpid game.
Here comes the painful part:
When we (shadeslayer13 and I) were waiting for my mom to finish choir practice, we decided to join in a game of football. We were playing 2 hand tag. Then, John Micheal (a 14-15 year old guy who's -really- fast) decides to make it all of us (Me, shadeslayer, Andrew, Racheal, Haley, William, and Charles) against him. The 2 girls (Haley and Racheal) decided to be on his team. Now, after 2 or 3 touchdowns, William gives me the ball (I'm the only one open). I start running, and out of nowhere John Micheal comes running. He slams me from behind (here's me, thinking it was tag o_O), and crushes me to the ground. (I personally think my right leg was disconnected or something equally painful) I try to stand up, and my right leg's all shaky. I have to sit down, and rest before I could get up. And they're all asking me if I'm OK, and stuff. (I kept saying "Not really." lol) Now, my right leg hurts if I walk on it, unless I apply preasure with my hand at the very top of it. And my knee hurts. So I'm pretty much immobile for the time being. :( Please pray that I'll recover soon. (I hope it's not permanent.)

• 11/8/2006 - Bleh
Stupid night at Youth Group tonight. <_< Here's what happened:
We played capture the flag. Our team had only one person that wanted to guard. So we were pretty much screwed before it started. We told people "Go guard the flag!" and they just reply "I don't want to.". It got sooo annoying. Then, this one girl who's annoying comes onto our side and we tag her, and she just says "I'm looking for my friend, so you guys can't tag me." and then she goes back to her side. She comes back later and says the same thing, and busts everybody out of jail. She would listen to the fact that we had tagged her. >:( And then someone got our flag and we lost that round. Then we played another round. This time, we hid it in the playground area. It was close to the time where the 3rd-5th graders would be getting out from their things, but we didn't think about that. So we're up guarding the line, and this group of 4-6 year olds come running up the hill with our flag! And we're all like "What the heck are you doing with our flag??" and one of them just says "My dad said I could play with it." and I'm like "We're using it." but he just kept saying the same thing over and over. He claims that his dad 'found' it where it was hidden, and gave them permission to play with it. So the kids run it over the line, and everybody on the other team starts saying "We won again! Ha ha!" so I was all frustrated, so was the rest of my team. So it was bleh.

• 11/2/2006 - Last Night
Last Night we had Youth Group. We played a game like this: The setup was a square. There were 3 teams. On one side of the square, their was a broken volleyball net. The 3 teams each had a goal. Each team tried to kick the ball into somebody else's goal. It was a chaotic game:
A 6th grader got slammed by another 6th grader, and that took him out of the game.
I got hit in the face by the ball, and had just enough time to say, "Ow, my face." before it hit me again in the face.
Then, when trying to block the ball, someone slapped me in my ear. Maybe it was the ball, but it made my ear hurt when ever I touched it.
I blocked 3 balls from going into our goal, but 2 made it by me. We lost, 3-4-6. But we had an excuse:
We had (except for shadeslayer and me) an entire team of 6th graders. And one of them (that I metioned earlier) was taken out of the game. Shadeslayer13 and I were the only blockers for a 30 foot stretch goal. Then, when he wanted to go out, all of the 6th graders said: "I don't wanna block, I wanna play." We tried to explain that we had been blocking the entire time, and it was their turn, but they just said: "So? Just come out." (Sure, and leave the goal unguarded). Eventually, shadeslayer13 left me to play, so I was attempting to block a 30 foot wide goal. <_< And he never went back to guard so I could come out. Feh.
